IPhone 6 is the first foldable phone
😂😂😂
Lol
And yet people still say Apple didn't innovate 🙄🙄🙄
🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
Yup, the time when unbox therapy was worth watching
This video makes me realise how much I missed UnboxTherapy videos. Give us more of this Lew!!!
Same here, can't wait to get myself one of these, I'll keep investing till I can afford to own one
I'll have to be financially stable in every sense before purchasing my first luxury phone. The best thing to do with your money is to invest rightly. Smart move
Investing is not as easy as it sounds, I lost a lot trying to be profitable
I can attest to that, I started out last summer and I'm getting frustrated already
I don't encourage independent investing, it can get messy, you need to hire a professional to aid you plan entry and exit points for a more lucrative endeavor
the moment when a folding phone has as much ram as your pc
And still randomly refreshes apps lol
Calls for a moment of silence...lol
@@bryanmiller476bad ram management. Hence why sum smartphones like iPhone don’t need 16 gigs of ram to keep up
Bring these style videos back! Haven't been able to vibe with your newer stuff, but this is incredible
Glad to see that you are doing videos in the old format again. This is what I loved about your channel. Waiting to find new videos from you about random gadgets and tech. Nostalgia kicks in 🥺
Forgot how much I enjoy Unbox therapy feels like Lew's old school presentations 👍
I missed these styles of videos with him.
You mean his paid infomercials?
@@mmaaddict78 No I meant exactly what I said.
@@philipnorthfield Yes I know, you were referring to his paid infomercials that he did for any company that paid his asking price.
Finally, someone got it right with folding phones. I've been waiting for a device that seamlessly combines convenience and functionality. This video really showed me how impressive this technology has become.
Are you going to get one?
Low iQ comment :X
I don't believe this runs on android or any Google services. Honor is the sister company of Huawei which is banned from NA and EU.
5:12 you can see that it runs android and got google services in it
@@keepitclean540honor was sold and no longer associate with huawei long ago
kickstand cases are the most underrated accessories, especially in foldable phones
They are just about mandatory for foldables
Congratulations on 20M subscribers. I remember when you hit 10M and finally reveal Jack :) In the same video you mentioned if you will ever hit another 10M. Here we are, congratulations!
Apple is just now adding USB-C
It’ll be another 10 years before they do a folding phone
you mean INVENT the usb-c
AND again, INVENT the foldable over 10 years
😀
Slow usb-c 😂 must pay for pro USB-cable if you need full speed😅
The best tech apple introduce is marketing
@@florinvoicu5719MacBook Pro 2016 had usb c
Galaxy s7 2016 was using micro usb samsung start using it on 2017 on the galaxy s8
The Volumebutton on the left,when unfolded, makes sense for me when you watch videos via kickstand! With my Fold it bothers me in the same situation when I always have to lift it to adjust it (or via smartwatch) 👍
I think it's a shame that it doesn't have an underdisplay camera! Because in percentage terms I use 99% of the time the display and not the camera and it really bothers me when there is a dot or hole when I watch a video, for example....
Love that you guys went back to the roots of Unboxtherapy, love this content!!
This looks really nice. One of the biggest issues (imho) with foldables is they’re near brick-like. This has a great form factor and unfolds flat with little crease. I’m 100% in the apple ecosystem but this makes me consider getting a foldable. Shame it’s not yet available outside Asia.
As Folding phones are getting better and thinner but the market is still very small. Hopefully that doesn't stop them making it. I'm sure at some point in time, i will pick one up.
You can get a Moto razr phone for $700 usd now.
This is such an amazing phone. You've been covering smart phones since the beginning and this phone finally seems like it bridged the gap. Thank you for the great review!
Nice after so many years a random inbox therapy post . Which looks like it’s from earlier days with lighting and vor and somehow the vibe . Thank you for this video . What’s a nostalgia .
Thank you for the reply I can’t believe this . I am so happy . This just keeps getting better. Thank you for another beautiful start of the day . Lots of love to you .
Love the Honor magic V2 just not sure about the software on the global version. Pity they are only rolling out the global version next year
ye i wish they had the feature samsung has where the inner camera disappears using oled and support pen usage
@@seanwu8629 I think the phone would actually be perfect at that point. Or pretty damn close to perfect.
@@seanwu8629 it does support stylus usage on both external and internal display. Samsung's internal camera is not very good. They haven't managed to make it work well.
Quality is crap though.
@@nsevv Why do you think that?
Getting close to buying a fold phone. This is some game changing stuff
Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave on how his company is bird feeding the customers.
Bird feeding?
Exactly
Steve Jobs was the guy who said “you’re holding it wrong”.
Take off those rose colored glasses

No not really. He rolling in his grave on how dumb Tim Cook is running apple .
You know what's ridiculous? The amount of time since the last Lew Later podcast lol! love your videos guys!
Currently waiting for the Oneplus fold, curious to see what they have to offer
That looks incredible! Definitely a foldable that I would actually consider picking up😯
Absolutely a brilliant review 👌
Thank you lue (Ubt) 👍
Thanks for giving us so many information 🥰
I have the fold 4 and love the folding features. I am definitely happy I switched. Even from the latest flagship. The folding screen outweighs all other flagship features for me. This honor V2 really interests me for dimensions and even larger folded and unfolded screens...... my worry is whether the software will be as polished as Samsung. If it is........ I think I'm switching
thats exactly the problem as to why samsung isnt rushing with the fold series. This looks good from the beginning but the engineering that samsung does is far more then Honor. Like apple for example. They want to make sure the phone is completely polished on everything including software before anything. I have a fold 4 and right now the software in samsungs foldable phones are still way ahead
man I tried this phone multiple times, the software is rock solid and smooth as silk. Just think, what would be the point of investing so much on creating such a refined and utra thin hardware if the software wasn't on par?@@hallofnation4917
Huawei is primarily made for the Chinese market so it's unlikely it'll be optimized for our uses.
I'm happy the EU is mandating easily replaceable batteries, but I also wonder how these devices will survive that regulation. I can't see how a device this thin can possibly have a removable battery. Which is a shame, because this is an incredible piece of technology that I would love to own. Hopefully the engineers figure out how to make this work with a removable battery!
I just upgraded to a Moto Edge+ (2023) and I love it, but I believe it will be my last "regular" smartphone because I expect I'll get a folding device when it's time to upgrade. Excited for what the future brings!
Great video Lew. It's pretty interesting isn't it. Seeing the game change.
Lew, you gotta do a video on the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 too. We'd love a comparison of the two if possible as well, would be lovely!
congrates unbox team on 20millions,,,
Bring back Lew later!
the width comparison was impressive, the trend is still towards more thinner phones. well done Honor!
Greatest reviews from unbox therapy 🔥🔥🔥
What’s happened to Lew Later 😢
I wanna know too
We need jerryrigeverthing to do a Durability test on it
The best foldable right now! Honor is doing some cool stuff for sure! The Honor purse is really cool too
This Unbox Therapy unboxing folding phone Honor video is simply incredible... especially so as I watch it on my BRAND-NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD 5! 😊
Honour Magic V2 should be a good daily driver to see how it performs compared to the other foldables. And Congratulations on reaching 20M by the way !!!
I think they're going to do my idea of adding a 3rd panel in, so it's a true full tablet.
Ahh your idea.. except they have existed for a while now. Search trifold phone. A few companies have had working prototypes at CES in Mobile world Congress since 2019
@@frankd9945 i actually emailed samsung in 2018 about making the panels thinner so you could have a full tablet, & i have proof. So piss off.
A superior implementation of a bigger screen are the rollable concept phones.
Great video! I want one of these but, they aren't gonna get a USA or Australia release! There is no plan for an international release. Where do we buy these from?
I love your reviews so much love from Nigeria
Still not practical...if the screen can be scratched with a fingernail that's an L
This is a folding phone that I would definitely buy!
Right so these need to get just a little bit thinner, then we can have a two fold version where it unfolds twice - to three times the folded size.
Then you could watch content closer to the native 16:9 or 16:10 and it would be properly tablet sized instead of square. Square is awkward for most video.
The S Pen tech in the Z Fold 5 is what adds some of the extra weight, along with Samsung's hinge. The S Pen tech is fantastic and is a feature that I would not go without in a foldable.
“Is that a foldable phone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”
They really shot themselves in the foot by not releasing this worldwide in time
Media consumption is great on a foldable. But camera quality is what's going to make me go back to a regular phone
Curre and have the fold 3
I’m an iPhone fan boy but after seeing the Honor V2 capabilities, design and innovation and since I use it mostly for business and watching videos the Honor V2 feels like a better option.
I don't even want to imagine how difficult it must be to repair a folding phone. Not like it's already getting more impossible each year to do any repairs on your own regular devie.
How many phones you have repaired more than 7 times? I think zero these days people switch phones in one repqir cycle.
I daily z fold 3 for past 1 years, on beach, have dropped on hard concrete floor, not even scratch or anything. Still going strong. Trust me I am trying to kill it because i want to get new one but it doesn't die.
At least this would be hard to repair for a legitimate reason instead of because of serial number locked components and their ilk
@@manojraut71 What do you mean with more than 7 times? Switched the battery on two of my phones. Since no matter how good you treat your phone, he battery is eventually going to degrade.
@@manojraut71lol or just sell it?
We are missing Lew Later 😭
I love the IDEA of it... but sadly dont think its waterproof or any bit as bend resistant as a thinker phone would be.
Finally a foldable that is as thin as my surface dou. Great video tho, loved the short.
Nothing ridiculous about them, just your talking point, you can see the crease on your demo phone.
I don't think you're comprehending the slang term of the adjective "ridiculous" in which he is utilizing it as.
their battery tech is insanely impressive
Ya but it is inferior to Lithium Ion batteries
Explain. Because as far as we know a silicon carbon battery offers a higher capacity than an identically-size lithium-ion battery.@@Thespiker00
This is the first time in years that something actually surprised me. Now this foldable thing is really something
Tbh I love that my fold 4 is a brick. I never drop it and the aspect ratio makes it easy for me to put it in my pocket. Whenever I've had a thin phone, I always dropped it and bevel edges is even worse to hold.
One thing I never understood about folding phones is why the companies dont go for designing two separate corner to corner screens that, once opened, snap in a position where they stand essentially gapless. That would completely vanish the crease problem and would look so much cleaner in my opinion, not affecting functionality... right? Don't know, just a thought.
I think the flip phones should def do that
We're starting to get close to the phone I want.
Take a Samsung S23 and fold it in half from left to right so that it ends up being much more comfortable to hold when talking and is so much more pocket friendly. It would also be much more usable when folded compared to the Flip.
Did you have your hands on the Global model or the Chinese variant?
Damn this is an awesome phone. Wonder how it performs and what the screen specs are
I’ve always thought these folding devices would sell better if they were advertised as folding tablets instead.
The idea of having a tablet that folds up and can become more portable sounds better to me than a bulky phone that becomes bigger.
No, they are just way too expensive but also too small for normal tablet customers,
Meaning normal customers who prefer tablets with 10-13 inch rectangle screens, not some tiny square screen smaller than an iPad mini but cost more than buying an iPad and iPhone together lol
Keep your iPhone lol
Not it wouldn't cause smartphone market is much bigger than tablet market.
Also now it doesn't matter cause Honor has shown with this phone that you can have a very thin folding phone
This is the same thing, just dependent on how you want to label it but overall, its the exact same thing. Kind of silly.
As someone who has the Fold 4 currently, it unfolds larger than my ipad mini. So, that statement is false. haha@@bryanmiller476
This is better than shitty Samsung fold
Don't see the use benefit for it but i guess it's good to have options out there.
5:23 what's going on with the UI here? It seems like the screens in both phones were recorded and overlayed in post for some reason 😅
I love its form factor but software still need a lot of improvement. So for now, Fold 5 still is the King.
iPhone 6 was the original foldable phone 😁😉!
😂😂😂😂
7:31 you sync up PERFECTLY with the phone
I welcome you back 🤫HUAWEI I MEAN HONOR
with open arms .
HOW I MISSED YOU WITH YOUR REVOLUTIONARY HARDWARE UPDATES
Why can't Samsung give me one like that , I'll be the first to order it, until then I'm going to wait for Samsung or pixel to build someone that thin to buy a folding phone
Don't be fooled by the excessively thin and light weight of a Chinese foldable phone. They designed it that way for exaggeration and bluffing, but their durability are terrible.
Battery technology barriers.
20.3 million subs. producing terrible audio quality.
Amazing!!.. what will solidify it for me would be a jerryrigseverything review.. if it survives, its worth it.
Can it stay open at an angle like the Samsung? Also wireless charging speed is slow (5w). Does not have always on display. So there are some compromises to a thinner design. Also, no IP rating for water or dust.
I loved the damn back to back, funny asf
The music between 2 and 3 mins is dope
If I could let go of the Apple Ecosystem then I think I’d definitely spring on a foldable phone like this. Looks great!
Just a curious question here. How does someone purchase this device? If you follow the link you provided, the site wants to know what region you're from, Asia and China are the only 2 options lol. I was going to possibly make a purchase but i can't get past that screen.
Me too
If you can compare that to the mi mix 3 fold, OnePlus open that would be awesome
Can't wait for the comparison between this and the latest xiaomi fold
As a long time user of the fold I gotta say I'm excited for this to come stateside
I've been using the chinese rom fold phones, getting them from China.
Does the Honor magic v2 have a global rom and how to buy it in Australia?
I can just find the chinese rom version of v2
it’s great to have such a thin foldable phone but i do not want my flip any thinner, it’ll make me so anxious to use
Hope the honor comes to the UK. I love my Samsung fold 4 but it really is a bit too bulky
Does the Honor come with a pen 🖊️? Or should it be purchased separately?
NICE! THANKS SIR.
Greetings. Is it possible to rely on it as a main device and open and close it repeatedly? Thank you very much for the answer and interest.
These are rated for 400k foldings
Do these also have an internal screen protector, that has to be changed regularly by an authorised repair, like the Galaxy Fold devices?
0:26
Yes, it's very important for us to see THE EXACT number of views the video had. I'm really glad that that was an editing note that was passed along to ensure the number of views for the video, which adds literally nothing of value, was present when the reference is shown
00:45 your high saturation and trim transitions edition way situation of style rendering are kind of sort to be burning my eyes
Can I activate these on any US networks if I buy and bring over to US? If I’m not mistaken these are not available outside of China yet.
For me the foldables should also have a mini version in the form factor of the oppo find n2...
I went from the Fold 4 back to my S10 to a note 10+..now using a Pixel 5. These big phones are too much for daily use for me. I work in construction, a smaller rugged version would be perfect. The Oppo is the best form factor available
A friend of mine is using this phone, every time I hold this thing, I got mad at my Galaxy fold 5, and it has GMS build in which makes it no different to a global phone.
Hi sir..can you review the best Android phone for doing tik tok LIVE.. because some android when using tiktok LIVE the resolution always like 720 p.. already setting but still same when do Tiktok LIVE
This phone is gonna shatter with that little itty bitty case on it
Hi, could. You test the new Blackview A200 please. It new and very good for the low budget people.
I think you need to bring back dark grey background, The unbox therapy theme
This phone is amazing but z fold 5 bezels and under screen cam is a little better+thinner. If honor magic v3 fixes this i will buy forsure
The problem is after a few months-a year you get a massive crease down the phone until that gets sorted somehow I wouldn’t get a folding phone
The V2 is a real magic of a phone. Love to own one
Any hints on where to buy this outside of Asia?
Does the Honor Magic V2 support HDMI output via USB-C ?
